I have server 08 r2 and i was wanting to know is it wrong to have more than one or more DNS servers on your network i'v set the same setting in my router and i set the same settings on my server, What i am trying to say is will having more than one dns effect server log ons and effect client machines performance? Thank you.

Maintaining more than one DNS server can be a headache. It also depends who is your DHCP server. In your case, I would delegate these services to the Windows server, and disable them on the router.

ANother question is whether your network uses Windows Domain (and who is your domain controller), in that case you are more or less tied to MS-DNS.

My Server when it's on handles most of the DNS. On my server DNS i've got the DNS from the router and the DNS from my ISP. Would that be okay or still to many DNS? Because my DNS is the private ip address from the router itself and then i have it on my server then i added my ISP DNS server Addresses to my server.

What do you mean by "then I added my ISP DNS addresses"?
What DNS addresses does your DHCP server assign?
On Windows DNS, have you configured the "root" zones? That is, does your Windows DNS server resolves the addresses by itself?

And again - if you are using Windows Domain, then more probably you have to stick to Windows DNS / DHCP.

Their DNS servers ip addresses. When i created my static ip address i assigned it with a 192 number from my router from which it's connected to but the numbers aren't all the same as a 192.168.-.- i changed the last two numbers to what i wanted my server to hand out. and yes i know when it comes to servers the server is the one that's suppose to be connected to the modem by the service provider.
